If you can, try rig up a delicate water jet system to keep the feed suspended. This would be an upflow device. Will it really make a difference with sunfish?
Perhaps, but keep in mind that I'm hoping to complete my training of young RES in only 2-4 weeks. After that, it's just a matter of feeding just below what they'll consume. Then the problem is solved. Many fish figure pellets out almost as if by intuition--but redears are much more challenging. Bill Cody has come up with some innovative methods of transitioning the fish to pellets, but I'm not sure I have the time to mash up up bloodworms and mix them with Aquamax.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
